readers, entering Fanon's first chap-
ter
of
The
Wretched
of
the Earthcan be a bit
dis-
concerting,
not
only
for the
positions expounded
there concerning violence,
but
also
for
what
ap-
pearsas animplicit affirmation of thevery Ma n-
icheanism that accordingto Fanon subtendsthe
colonial order. Thatis,when Fanon states thatthe
colonial worldis aworld dividedintwo, it is in
no way
a
simple denunciation,
but in
his eyes,
the
objective delineation of tbeparameters of pos-
sibility within the existing colonial situation.As
Fanon reads
the
scope
and
direction
of the
initial
movements
of the
colonized,
he
concludes that
their actions do no t reinforce, no r seek to replicate,
this initial situation. Rather,theentire truth of
the Wretched's movementis to actually split
the world in two and create a rupture from
the entirety of this situation that will allowthe
Wretched
to
destroy both
the
colonizer
and
figu-
ratively, themselves as colonized. This wouldbe to
turn away from thephysical violenceof theanti-
colonial war in
a
strict sense, and toward the inno -
vation required
to
bring
a
new subject
of
political
action into existence. As Fanon repeats again
and
again (despite many sub sequent m isreadings to the
contrary),thesuccessorfailureof theWretched
depends on their capacity to achieve what untu
thenhadrema ined, strictly speaking, impossible.
mbivalence
ambivalences
of
identification touch ed upon
in Fanon's previous writings, most specifically
with
his
invocation
of
Lacanian psychoanalysis
and its mirror stage of the T to approximate
the question of black psychopathology' in
chaptersix of
Black
Skin
White
Masks.ForHomi
Bhabha,it is certainlyin the opening pagesof
Wretched soenmeshedin theanticolonial struggle
of revolutionary Algeria, where Fanon is forced
to impede
the
exploration
of
the...ambivalent,
uncertain questions
of
colonial desire.
The
state
of
emergency from which
he
[Fanon]
writes demands more insurgent answers, more
immediate identifications. ^
In other words, Fanon's affirmation of an
inversionofcolonial Manicheanism in Wretched
has been interpretedas akindof deviation from
Black Skin White Masks.^Although one could
derive such
an
argument from Fanon's writings,
the above approach treats Fanon's method
of
describing
the
unfolding
of the
various m omen ts
of the national revolutionary impulseas if these
moments existed as independent ends.
A sATOSekyi-Otu has pointed out,theadmo-
.ZAJiition of what Bhabha calls Fanon's mo re
imm ediate identification with the colonized
in
Wretched
hinges on isolating the moment of
reverse Manicheanism in Fanon from the
larger unfolding of Fanon's own dialectical
narrative of decolonization.* Such an approach
treats
the
question
of
anti-racist racism
and
race
war as if
these were
the
final rather

2/9
dialectic of alterity to inte rrup t what it
reads as Fanon's appropriations of a classically
Hegelian inflected narrative of alienation and
disalienation. In that narrative, the moment of
enc oun ter implicit in colonization is the unfolding
of a simple term in its becoming other, and the
mo me nt of decolonization as the negation of
the negation, ^ the return to itself as an achieved
concept. H ere not only do we see reduced Fanon's
own thoughts on Manicheanism, but we are also
led to underestimate the achievements Fanon
intuits when this Manicheanism is confronted
and effectively crushed by the thought and action
of the colonized.
World Div ide d in Two
N
OT ONLY is Fan on's world divided in tw o
devoid of social ambivalences between col-
onizer and colonized, but Fanon goes so far as
to claim that the distinction itself exists at the
level of a difference in species, '' which he fur-
the r describes as congenitally antag onistic due
to the very reification sec reted and nurtured by
the colonial situation. ' The language of species
used by Fanon is chosen from the vocabulary of
the colonists themselves, whose dehumanization
of the colonized subject leads them to speak in
zoological term s when referring, for instance,
to the yellow multitudes. Th at
is,
for Fan on, the
colonists do not tire of referring to the colonized
in terms of ...ho rde s, ...stink, ...swarming , ...
seedling...
etc.
In addition, these zoological categories are
assigned a hierarchy of value; the animalistic
colonized is incapable of holding human values
and sthus considered the quintessence of evil. ^
These differentiations, stemming from a reduc-
tion to the biological, then lead the colonists to
the necessity of p rotectin g the ruling species from
infection em ana ting from the natives.' Th is is
a protection that only arrives by the application
of the Aristotelian logic of mu tual exclusion ex-
pressed in the strict spatial compartmentalization
of the colony into European and Native quarters
(of which South African apartheid was paradig-
matic but not exceptional for Fan on). Th at is,
the heart of the colonists' project can be delineat-
ed through the geographical configuration and
classification
[s]
which it then circularly employs
The colonists' sector is a sector built to last, all stone
and steel. It's a sector of lights and pav ed road s, where
the trashcans constantly overflow with strange and
wonderful garbage, undreamed-of leftovers. The col-
onists' feet... are protected by solid shoes in a sector
where the streets are clean and smooth, without a pot-
hole,
without a stone.. .The colonist's sector is a white
folks'
sector, a sector of foreigners.'^
This sector could not stand in sharper distinc-
tion to the natives' quarters:
The native quarters, the shantytown, the Med ina,
the reservation, is a disreputable place inhabited by
disreputable people. You are born anywhere, anyhow.
You die anywhere, from anything. It's a world with
no space, people are piled one top of the other, the
shacks squeezed tightly together. The colonized sector
is a famished sector, hungry for bread, meat, shoes,
coal, and Ught... It is a sector of niggers, a sector of
towelheads.
Accordingly, in the colony there exists a near
confiuence between geographical location, spe-
cies/race, and social standing. That is, one's so-
cial position within colonial society is directly
correlated to which of these species, which of
these races, one belongs, which in tur n deter-
mines what physical location one inhabits in the
colony.'* A certain circularity should be noted
here between the classificatory schmas of the
zoological terms and the physical manifestation
of apartheid. That is, there is a relay between the
creation of the colonized as an epistemologically
know able object and the spatial segregation, o
locational fixing of that object within the colo-
ny. Th e circularity of this bio-geo graphic d eter-
minism is cap tured nicely by Charles Mills, who
explains, you are what you are in part because
you originate from a certain kind of space, and
that space has those properties in part because it
is inhabited by creatures likeyourself. ''
I
T BECOMES clear then from these descriptions
that the colonial project is the production of
a Ma nichean world. In order to keep these
worlds apart, domination cannot be hidden; the
zone of the colonist and that of the native face
each other separated by napalm and rifle butts,
direcy opposed but never in the service of a
higher unity.' ^ That is, for Fanon, the colonial
world stands in immediate contradistinction to

referto it.'' TheM aniche an reality providesthe
material from which the colonized draws
to
move
from fixedness to action, evenif this minimal
dem an d is still firmlyin thegripsof reaction.
On Violence
H
AVING BROKEN with fatalism and identified
the colonist
as the
externalizable cause
of oppression, thenativeisalso ableto identify
the mechanism through which that oppression
is made
a
realityviolence. That
is, as
Fanon
states,it is the settler's unmediated violence that
has shownthenative onceand for allthat colo-
nialismis not a machine capableof thinking,a
body endowed with reason.It is naked violence
and only gives
in
when confronted with greater
violence. '^Itis the violenceofthe colonizer that
has created the colonized; it
is
through their bay-
onets and cann on fire that they have destroyed
the ve ry the social fabricofnative Hfe, e.g., econ-
omy, lifestyle, and modes of dress.^' Thus it is
through this violence that the colonist not only
imposes a separation of the speciesbut in fact
fabricates itsother,thecolonized.If thecolo-
nistscansay tha tthenativesareanimals,itisbe-
cause their violencehasdone everything possible
to reduce themto ananimal-ke existence (all the
more vicious,for never having succeeded).Yet,
according to Fanon, duetothe lawof reciprocal
hom ogeneity that characterizes theM anichean
realityofthe colonial situation, this violence em a-
nating from the colonist shows the native the pa th
that he m ust taketofreedom ... colonialism only
loosens its hold when the knifeis atits throat. ^*
Directly following
in
this line
of
Manichean
inversion. Fanon states that
the
colonized
man
finds his freedom in and through violence. ^'^If
the Manicheanism of the colonial situationhas
provided
an end
goal
for the
nativethe expul-
sionof thecolonizerthen thedaily imposition
of colonialism through visible violence has in-
dicated
the
means
by
which this goal might
be
achieved. That is, it is thedirectandorganized
violenceof a unified people that diminishesthe
capacity
of
the m etropolis to act, forcing the colo-
nizer eventually to abandon the colony.'^ We here
to move beyond
the
initial min imal dem and
beyond reaction, that the colonized can move
beyond violenceandtowardaproperly activeac
tion.
Manicheanism Partisan Struggle
and Strategy:
Splitting the World in Two
S
EEING TH Tthe questionofviolence isinfact
subset of the larger issueof Manicheanism
what
are
we
to
make
of
Fanon's insistence
on th
forceof the colonized's Manichean inversionof
the colonial situation? That is, should weview
Fanon's sympathy for this inversion, as Bhabha
has done,as an oversimplified identification with
the plight
of
the colonized induced by the exigen
ciesof ananticolonial war?ForFanon, although
this inversionwasabsolutely necessary to break
fromthestructureofcolonialism,as he iscarefu
to pointout, it is in no waysufficient for a suc
cessful process
of
decolonization.
It is
importan
to rememberthereasonfor thenecessityof thi
inversion. Thefirst reasonis that throughthe
Manichean inversion, thecolonized are ableto
see that colonialismdid notariseout ofontolog
ical necessity
but
rather through
the
contingen
historical actionsof the colonizer. That is,colo
nizationis ahistorical phenomenoninwhichth
privileged agentsare thecolonists. A lthoughth
existenceof this phenomenon limitstheconduc
of
the
colonized,
the
realization
of its
historicity
simultaneously reopensthefieldofhistoryto th
possibilityoftheir own agency.
Second,
and
perhaps more importantiy,
th
rediscovery of historical possibility is accompa
nied by the acknowledgment that ontological
and
historical justificationsof colonization serve only
to obscure theissueof force, and thereforeth
realization that the violent imposition of colo
nialismcan beansweredinthe violent actionso
the colonized. In this turn of events, successo
failure doesnot liesimplyin a tactical defeato
the colonizerbut inthe enorm ous strategic victo
ry achieved
in
exposing the absolute exhau stion
of politics unde rthecolonial structure.^ Itisa
this poin t
of
exhaustion that, according to Fanon
8/10/2019 On Fanon's Manichean Delirium
5/9
By viewing both colonization and decoloni-
zation as simply a question of relative stren gth
and thus of o pen struggle, the colonized have giv-
en up on government inquiries and searches
for justi ce within the colonial context.' ' Th us
the logic of exclusion that maintains the colonial
structure resurfaces as a point of excess over and
above this structure from which the colonized can
be clear tha t the only legitimacy sustaining the co-
lonial regime is tha t of force.*' Restructu ring the
world is possible.
A
s
F ANON
notes (as early as Black Skin,
White
Masks ,
this realization is worldw ide,
and subjects throughout the Third World were
sh attering their chains with the example of the
Vietnamese at Dien Bien Phu to emulate. That
is,
through the organization of force, and more
specifically the cond uct of guerilla wa r (what
F anon refers to as tha t instrum ent of violence of
the colonized ), a Dien Bien Phu was now with-
in reach of every colonized subject.*^ The Man-
ichean inversion allows the colonized to see that
colonization is a question of the organization of
force, and that that kind of organization, through
guerilla warfare, is imminently within reach.
Th rou gh this analysis of the exhaustion of
politics, F anon is firmly within the formation
of the Third World partisan. This was a figure
developed independently and in particular plac-
es and instances, but which was formed within
the overall situation of colonialism and came
to conclusions strikingly similar to those set out
by Mao Zedong, whom Carl Schmitt called the
new C lausew itz (or as we might say today, an
inverted C lausewitz), com paring him to the nine-
teenth-century Cerman military theorist who
famously declared: war is the contin uation of
politics by other me ans. M ao writes:
War is the continua tion of p olitics. In this sense
wa r is politics and wa r itself is a political action; since
ancient times there has not been a war that did not
have a political character... When politics develops
to a certain stage beyond which it cannot proceed by
tlie usual means, war breaks out to sweep away those
obstacles in the way.. .It can therefore be said that pol-
itics is war withou t bloodshed while war is politics with
bloodshed.
This conclusion not only produces a challenge
tion to those would-be or semi- sympathizers who
mistakenly reduce the possible agency of the colo-
nized to a compromise or action within the colonial
stmcture. Fanon righdy notes that these objections
to the organization of force and to the unleashing
of violence repeated a certain developmentalist
logic tha t makes the colonized losers from the sta rt.
To dem onstrate this oft-repeated logic. F anon cites
a passage from Friedrich Engels'
Anti Durhing
that
is worth reproduc ing in its entirety:
Just as Crusoe could proc ure a sword forhimself we
are equally entitled to assume that one fine m ornin g
Friday might appear with a loaded revolver in his
han d, and then the whole force relationship is
inverted. Friday commands and it is Crusoe who
has to drudge . . .
So,
then, the revolver triumphs over
the sword; and this will probably make even the
most childish axiomatician comprehend that force
is no m ere a ct of will, but requires very preliminary
conditions before it can com e into opera tion, that is
to say, instruments, the more perfect of which van-
quish the less perfect; moreover, that these instru-
ments have to be produced, which also implies that
the producer of more perfect instruments of force,
vulgo
arms, vanquishes the producer of the less per-
fect instrument, and that, iti a word, the triumph
of force is based on the production of arms, and
this in turn on production in generaltherefore on
econo mic power, on the econom ic order, on
the material means which force has at its disposal.**
W
ITHIN Engels' tex t. F anon saw the
construction of an argument that attempts
to bury confiict within the discourse of economic
development, nullifying the question of political
Wl and thus seemingly freezing tlie relations of
force throughout timefatalism, resignation
and apathy. Given the pervasiveness of this
logic, even within the nationalist parties in the
colonies in which the anticolonial struggle had
been defeated before it was even initiated, it is
impo rtant to highlight F anon's understanding that
the formation of the consciousness of species/
race struggle brought on by the inversion of
colonial Manicheanism ran directiy counter to the
logic exemplified by Engels' text. That is, to use
the terminology developed by Michel Foucault
while analyzing a strikingly parallel situation, what
Fanon is describing is a paradigmatic case of the
formation of the historical/political discourse of
the partisan, which faces off against the juridical/

6/9
Reversibility Another Politics
A
CCORDING
to
Foucault, juridical-philosophic
discourse
is the
discourse
of
sovereignty,
which begins with three pre-given concepts:
law,
the unity
of
power,
and the
subject.*^ By starting
with the individual (thesubject) aspre-given,
sovereignty is able to present subjection as the
necessary given in any relationship of power.*'
It
is
worth noting how strong the connection
be-
tween
the
production
of the
individual
and the
structure
of
subjection is
for
Fanon as well. As
he
states, first among
the
values that
the
colonist
tries
to
inculcate into the native intellectual is that
of individualism:
The colonialist bourgeoisie hammered into the
colonized mindthenotionof asocietyof individuals
where eachislockedin his subjectivity, where wealth
lies
in
thought.
But the
colonized intellectual
who is
lucky enough
to
bunker down with the people during
the liberation struggles, will soon discover
the
falsity
of this theory. Involvement in the organization of
struggle will already introduce him to a different
vocabtdary. Brother, sister, com rad e.
Thu s, in sharp contrast
to
sovereign discou rse,
historical/political discourse begins with the
sit-
uation
of
domination, with
the
establishment
of
sovereignty throughthedefeatof oneportionof
society by another. Therefore, and much as Fanon
himself sees,itis the colonist who fabricated and
continuestofabricate the colonized subject, the
historical/political discourse
of the
partisan sees
the individual
and his or her
subjection
not as a
necessary pre-given but as ma nufac tured within
the relations
of
power (Fanon 2004, 2).
To
quote
Foucault,
the
emphasis
of
historical/political
dis-
course
is on
how actual relations
of
subjugation
man ufacture subjects (FoucaiJt
2003,
45). Im-
portantly then, politicsforthe partisan (i.e.,asde -
scribed by Fanon in the Third World movement as
a whole)farexceedsthe political institutions of
any given society which
are in
fact
a
subset
of a
relation
of
force wthin which the subjugated,
the
colonized,
act
along w ith
the
colonizer.
The
logic
of the partisan, according to Foucault, is that pow -
er does
not
emanate from
the
sovereign; rather,
sovereignty itself is the expression
of a
given rela-
tion of force that involves the entirety
of a
society.
Asa consequence, thebinary or Manichean
which subtends sovereignty, tha t subject which es-
tablishes itself between the adversaries,inthe cen
ter and above them, imposing one general law and
foundingareconciliatory orde r whichisdirectl
challenged by the partisan insistence tha t you mus
belong to o ne side
or
another in this war.*'
Perhaps
in
light
of
these insights we
can
mor
fully explore
the
discussion
of
Fanon's apparen
praise
of the
M anichea n logic
of
decolonization
Within this context,theissueof violence canno
simply be reduced to physical force; as Fano
states, the occupier can easily phase out th
violent aspectsofhis pres ence. It therefore migh
more productively
be
seen
as the
mechanism
through which anticolonial m ovements as a whole
attempted
to
link the issue
of
strategy
and
tactic
to political outcomes;
a
new relation
of
force.^
This necessitates
a
logic which
has the
virtu
of positing
all
relations
of
force, unlike
the lo
ic presented earlierbyEngelsand tbenational
ist bourgeoisie parties,as purely contingentan
thus immanently reversible(aninsight that toda
seems somewhat obvious, keeping in mind tha
such flippancy is only possible than ks
to the
ver
process
of
decolonization in which Fanon is so in
tensely immersed). Furthermore,
if the
colonia
situation
is in
fact composed from
top to
bottom
as
a
relation
of
force,
or a
war, that exceeds
th
institutions
of
what
in the
West has been terme
the political (that space containedin theinter
action be tween state and civil society), then in rec
ognizing that war the colonized would haveto d
far more than merely expel the colonizer. The
would
in
fact have
to
produc e entirely new spac
es
for
political action; their aim would thus hav
to
be to
achieve
the,
until then, impossible,
an
change politics itself

very little happens in the spaces of the colonizer
or in those of the colonized. In fact. Fanon refers
to this entire "reality," the entirety of the spaces
in the given order of places of colonization, as
the "zone of death." But within the space of the
colonized, the establishment of an "anti-racist
racism " is an initial action that like all first actions
for Fanon is mere reaction, but nevertheless a re-
action (the Man ichean inversion) that can be split
within itself
Fanon explains, this reaction, like aU reaction,
is more likely than not to continue forever in the
logic of "reciprocal homogeneity" and "hate"
that characterizes the colonial situation. But the
reaction that brings to light the "exhaustion of
politics" vthin the colonial structure, far beyond
the mere deployment of physical violence, leads
to the collective realization that colonization/
decolonization must be a question of "relative
strength" between
tw o
distinct subjective forces.
In this realization the colonized has stepped
onto the scene to smash the self-satisfied fullness
of the colonizer, not only reintroducing the
possibility of a reversal of fortune, the possibility
of moving from "persecuted to persecutor," but
more importandy, the possibility of what Fanon
would term "scission," a break from the colonial
structure, the space for the existence of another
subject altogether. In Fanon's words, they have
introduced the possibility of turning away from
Europe and affirming "the new." Therefore, for
Fanon , the spaces of the colonized are themselves
split in two between mere reaction, firmly within
the "zone of turbulence," and what Fanon terms
"the zone of action."
HIS "zone of action" however can not by
definition exist
between
colonizer and
colonized, as Homi Bhabha would have it, as
each of these figures and therefore everything
betweenthem is stiU firmly in the "zone of dea th."
Rather, the "zone of action" comes into being
in the point of scission, the point of decision of
the colonized to destroy themselves as colonized,
and "the new," or as Fanon had previously put
it, "the unforeseeable." In other words, the
Wretched have caUed the bluff of the colonizer,
and to the colonizers frequent exclamations, "you
are not like us " they have set out, through an
Wretched , to make this statement an unqualified
truth, answering, "We wiU make ourselves far
more different than you can imagine " They have
set out to achieve the alteration of being, to bring
into existence another element, in but not of, the
colonial situationthemselves as an independent
subjective force.
TT^INALLY, we should be careful here, as the pro-
X duction of an actual duality, the produc tion
of th e Wretched as an active subjective element is
irreconcilable w ith the first element (i.e. colonial-
ism), with regard to the question of difference.
The first element, Europe's Manichean dualism
("a world divided in two") is the mechanism for
the production and reproduction of a purely
monological discourse. In contrast, the struggle
of the colonized to bring into existence an ac-
tual duality (the Third World partisan's struggle
described by Fanon as "Split[ting] the world in
two") is the onto-historical condition of possibility
for the end of that monologue, for difference. Far
from the today fashionable declarations of "Long
live difference " TheWretchedo fthe Earth remind
us that difference today stands on the shoulders
of millions of anticolonial militants.
